    In any case, that ice elemental makes me want to vote Fire!

    If everyone was being busdriven technically that should still make for the same number of deaths. Seems more likely that certain players are immune to certain(any?) attacks until specific conditions have been met by the game.

    Or there are hit points involved in the same way as the summons seem to have, I suppose.

    If that was like four different busdrivers then this phalla is awesome.

    Seems unlikely, though. More likely it was a combination of different defenses.

    Edit: We need to get Munkus in this for murderbot posts.

    Nope, lying on a publicly verifiable matter is pretty silly.

    Are you implying that there is no one playing who is pretty silly?

    Just coming to the thread and going "I'm a mafia!" would be pretty silly.

    That's pretty rare, isn't it?

    I'm a mafia!

    Current Spreadsheet (up to post 247)

    So Fire and Earth are now valid elements to vote for? Or is that also a mistake that needs to be corrected? Having the elemental support votes be in orange could get kind of confusing... or is there a mechanical reason for having the shift?

    Infidel got seered as a villager. He might not be in your faction, but he is a villager.

    Also, I'd love to talk to some mysterious beings today. Wanna know what exactly is your game here.

    Reading through archived phallas, I've seen it!

    I did say on an unrelated note. Not implying distrust, just wondering. My personal experience doesn't go back very far.

    No, you've seen gambits. Nobody just straight out reveals. (Although there have been some confused mafia slip up and reveal accidentally in PM by asking another for help :lol:)

    Yeah! I hope that memory never dies. Hear that Exty? I'm amazed it didn't win the mess-up (Or whatever it's called) award at Phallawards.

    Carry on people nothing to see. I just want to rub salt in Extermatott's wounds, and my computer access is limited, so I only have so much time to do it in.

    Edit: And you had a ProBoard all to yourself? You didn't trust me? I mean, I did end up stabbing you in the back and becoming the most powerful role in the Phalla, but c'mon. Trust over lust bud.

    So... clearly we don't have any leads on lynching. Unless anyone else has any ideas? :?

    As for the cyan vote, Fire and Earth aren't in the phalla (even though it was in the post). So I say Steel completely arbitrarily, and also because a steel mallet could totally crush a block of ice. Infallible logic up ins. :P

    As much I hate agreeing with Ringo, there was something odd I noticed yesterday. Well not odd, but something I've seen people do before. That is throw some attention on people they view as threats. I noticed Marth do this in a slightly light-hearted way yesterday. Though it's rather open to interpretation.

    Kinda came across as sorta helpful, not really. When I first read it. And needlessly pointing at people. It could be newbie enthusiasm, but it seems a bit controlled. And he does have the potentially convenient wang vote. Granted I think there were circumstances that could be said that brought that about. Still..

    Marth for now

    It is kinda funny Marth mentioned the heart and spiral votes as being a little suss and then voted for wang shortly after

    I'm curious as to how Ringo got so much info so quick. A seering already and a list of mysterious beings already seems kinda strange doesn't it?

    C'mon Egos, you know what a post like that means. Harmless villager. Typically the most suspicious (subtly) person is likely un-important in the grand scheme of things.

    I feel like Ringo needs to prove himself before we go on trusting him and his pointing out of Infidel. It's important to remember if he dies a good seer though...I just doubt that very highly. I will come off my 'Ringo is always evil' banter for now because he was very helpful to me the last game.

    I only thought the Heart and Spiral votes were interesting because they seemed to vote for them unironically. Now it seems to be no cause for concern.

    Also, I'm reminded of how difficult phallas can be if no one is talking to you...

    I thought it was usually the person who makes themselves the biggest distraction is usually the harmless villager..Except for the distraction they cause? Subtle people can go either way. Some people are busy , others are intentionally remaining off the radar (as you noticed I did in Kamen Rider :) *I'm sure I did other things, but I certainly was less talkative).

    I'm not trusting Ringo, really. This is something that entered my mind yesterday as something odd and Ringo bringing Marth up. It's convenient. If it proves Ringo , more power. But that isn't the main issue for me.

    How can we talk about who to trust when we don't even know what the mafia is in this game? The Cataclysm sounds bad, but the summoners are vying to actually bring it about and the nationality of the eventual winner determines which nation wins. Who are the bad guys?

    Well either he seered Infidel, or he's claiming to have seered Infidel and one or the other is mafia. What's the normal procedure here to prove a seer's claim?

    I'm baiting you to attack my Summon

    also - there's no way to prove my seerings except to kill [REDACTED] and/or Infidel.

    And that still wouldn't prove I'm not affiliated with Cataclysm, as we should all be aware that Mafia Seers do occasionally exist. The various factions who have access to seers could put a seering on me, which I don't have the power to block. Then you could all be paranoid about Mafia Thrall/Seers but at that point I would just give up on the game :P

    And the Marth vote is just a hunch, by the way

    Just who the hell do you think I am?

    But seriously though, we have four nations whose win condition is to kill any summoners not of their nationality. At no point is there a mention of a mafia anywhere. We have new win conditions being revealed tonight or tomorrow. We had all of 2 kills yesterday with narrations implying further attempts, but neither the kills nor the narration pointed to an obvious mafia. I don't think the mafia has powers at this point. When the blood starts flowing, we are going to need to decide whether to focus on killing the bad guys or each other.

    Heart Is An Awesome Power and may end up being the social and moral compass. If your guessing a random unknown elemental power, life, death, darkness, lava, poison, moon, paper, void (my favorite), space or time, heart seems pretty safe.

    I am gonna go with Ice today, he will probably need it.

    Hmm, Baidol.
